Father God, forgive us, we know not what we've
donewe've followed all Your laws, and we've loved
everyonewe've kept Your word sacred, no matter what the
costand we've estranged all of those who we have
seen as lostthey've never understood why we follow through
our waysbut we leave them in the dark as we carry on
our praiseand as we let them sit in silence and wonder
about the Sonwe whine about the pain we have and wonder what
we've done

Father God, forgive us, we must have been insanewe thought to be like Jesus, but acted more like
Cainwe never even saw it until it was too lateand when You blessed us still, we gave credit
to fatewe looked to the stars for answers while Your
grace hit us like rainand whenever things went wrong, You were the
one to blamewe looked for reasons why, without asking the
Sonand decide it's not our fault but we know what
we have done

Father God, forgive us, we never even triedwe said that we would keep Your laws but we obviously
liedwe said life was a roller coaster, sat back,
and enjoyed the rideand in the end it was Your name that we three
times deniedwe saw You on the scaffold, but we didn't know
just whyYou hadn't committed any crime, still we chose
the other guyfor the sins of the world You bore the pain of
the thorn in Your sidein truth it was our ignorance for which You boldly
died.

flowers

i don't want anyone to see meas i cry in my broken down statethis is the part i hate

this is where my life starts caving inall my deeds come crashing down on meand i'm starting to see

i see them come down fastbecause i just walked pastwhen i was standing so talland now i sit and watch the flowers fall

i remember when i was perfecti could've taught the world a thing or twoi just wish i knew

all the lost souls crying out to mei kept walking in my righteousnessi couldn't even guess

the air blows through my hairas i fall quickly through the airand i can't help but start to cryas i look down and watch the flowers die

i can't pretend to be perfectwhen i try i'm only in the wayand then i have to pay

i'm bound to live a servant's lifeto make sure the other servants knowand then the flowers will grow

gone away

look where i've beenwhat i've done all alongit's not my best worki'm really not proud

it glows in the darkit catches your visiona sure fire hitit plays to the crowd

"he wants one for Christmas" said mommy to daddy"we just can't afford it" he said in reply"we must give him something" said mommy to daddy"we just couldn't" and daddy started to cry

a marvelous thingit's all one could hope forpicture perfect giftbut no one will buy it

what everyone wantsbut no one will ask forwhat everyone needsbut no one can try it

"save it for his birthday" said daddy to mommy"he needs it right now" she pleaded with him"i just couldn't do it" said daddy to mommy"he must have it now" they both cried again

the greatest inventionwhat good will it do meit caters to onlythe ones without need

a useless perceptiona dead rotten visionit served no great purposeit planted no seed

life in a day

the sun shines through the windowand falls gently on her faceshe's waken by the warmth providedsolely by His grace

and in her imperfectionshe starts a brand new dayshe rolls from bed, falls on her kneesand with closed eyes, starts to pray

she asked "my God, what have i doneto deserve this life that is so true?"He said "you have done nothing, childI gave you this because I love you"

26 Twisting Boxes

54 colored squaresplaced together with great careeverything matched, but now has tumbledall sense of control has been fumbled

a need for order fills my lifeto rematch the colors and end the strifefor when colors are jumbled their screams seem
absurdbut when they are whole they are easily heard

but i've found the One that makes colors distinctWho can separate emotions but still leave them
linkedto solve the puzzle, ending the madnessso caution softens anger and brightens the sadnesswhere masterful hands gently rotate each sideso that every emotion has its own place to reside

and when my life in His hands has revolvedthe cube called my life will be finally solved
